In this car I release a whole new gearbox, 4th gen. It is very small and very very reliavable. In this car it doesn't include auto-stop function for gearbox motor (PF M motor), so you must stop the motor by yourself.

Of course it include speed indicator from the interior of the car.

And the second proof: drum brakes in all wheels.

Yes, brakes like my other big cars. In this time to save some space I have used the interior side of the rim like the drum. Powered by a M motor.

Quick bodywork disassemble. You only nned to remove 2 pins ans 2 small liftarms and the bodywork can be removed in one piece.

"Most wanted" picture.

Finally a picture to show you the real size difference between this 1/10.5 scale car and one of my previous 1/8 cars.

Great work as usual! I have been thinking about building a 300sl in this scale for a while but as with all my builds it is taking ages to get to, so I will definitely be getting the instructions when they come out.

Hi Sheepo, at this moment I'm building your LandRover Defender 110, so I can say I really appreciate your work! But... I really think that you downscale your abilities by forcing yourself into this 1/10 Scale. It is true that your former 1/8 scale models are enormous, but that is just differentiating them (and other MOC's) from most of the standard Lego sets. And yes, the Defender is going to cost me about 700€ but I don't mind. It's giving me about 3 months of joy building it. So, conclusion... wonderful 300SL model but you would have done better in 1/8th... Ese critica puides condsiderir positivo Sheepo, eres mi heroe por siempre! Saludos

Good comment Nicolas, I understand your opinion, but think this: how many people can spend 700€ in a 1/8 scale car? The same car in 1/10 scale with similar specs and functions probably have half price of 1/8th.

Hi, what wonderfull car! And your argument about the price for a car in 1/10 scale with similar specs is right, specialy for students, and for my little son ;-)What about the release in two steps? If you release the parts list at first, many people have (an need) enough time to get the parts. So they can build their own car in any weeks by release time of the instructions.

3rd gen interest, but i need side meganism, you use 3rd gen ver.1 side do you have more information that because i try use v.2 mecanish but i got to work properly and V2 gearbox is too long! i hope you release more information 3rd gen !

Hello sheepo. I am thinking of building this amazing moc. Firstly I am going to buy all parts and then instructions. But I have a question. Part 41677 (technic, liftarm 1x2 thin) in black (which I need x80) is expensive in Bricklink stores in my country (Poland), not VERY expensive, but much more expensive than 41677 in light bluish gray. So here is my question: Does replacing the black ones (80) with light bluish gray ones affect/change the look of Mercedes much? If yes, how many od them can I replace without major changes?

I have one more problem. I am collecting my parts now in bricklink carts and part 32126 is very expensive. However, I have this part in black, so does changing its colour to black affect the look (you know, black is definietely not light gray)? Where is this part located in mercedes car?

Moreover, Does it have white clutch gear in steering mechanism? In photos, these gears look like parts od gearbox, not steering. I am asking because I have never used M motor as steering motor and I don't want to damage it :(

And probably my last questions before buying all parts and instructions. Can I use pneumatic hoses instead of ALL of the flat silver soft hoses (7L, 11L, 14L, 19L) from this inventory https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-4227/Sheepo/mercedes-benz-300sl-54-gullwing/#parts ? And I want to know one more thing about hoses. You are advanced builder, so have you ever cut pneumatic hoses? I am asking because I want to buy long V2 pneumatic hoses in light bluish gray and I want to cut them with my survival knife to get smaller ones (for example I buy 37L and I cut it to get 19L+11L+7L pneumatic hoses). Is it easy to cut them (if you know of course)?

W123 is the internal chassis-designation Mercedes-Benz used for their executive line of cars, manufactured between 1976 and 1985. You will get more info with online auto repair manuals Mercedes online.
